I'm still here!

Well, it appears that for the first time in 3 weeks I have a few moments to sit down and write a blog post. Unfortunately, since I have been so encompassed in school and work, I really do not have anything interesting to report. As busy as I am, I am loving most of my internship duties (not lunch duty or bus duty!). I cannot wait to become an Assistant Principal. In fact, now that I have had a touch of what is to come, it is very hard to continue teaching. I love my students, but I am really looking forward to a different position. I must be patient, though. I cannot begin applying until I graduate in December of 2008.

Nolan is now 7 months. He is loving sweet potatoes, bananas, applesauce, pears, and peaches. Luckily, the only problems he has had were with the squash (see cute pictures below) and carrots. He showed an allergy to the squash (supposed to be least allergenic!) and he just did not like the taste of the carrots. I think he will be crawling very soon. He is trying to take off, but he is going backwards right now.

Kaylee is still loving school and her teacher. She gets so excited to go to school. She cracks me up! She tends to get things confused a lot. She keeps telling everyone that she is going the be the flower girl in her Uncle Dustin's wedding and that Ely is going to be the "dinglebear." She means "ringbearer." The other day she came home from school to report to me that "Garrett got his brains out today, so he wasn't at school." To which I replied, "WHAT!?!" She replied, "You know, Mom, he had to have his brains taken out." "Brains?" I asked. "Yep, you know, like when I had mine out," and she points to her open mouth. Hmmmmm . . . "Do you mean your adenoids?" "YES!!, that's what they are called!", she replies. I am very glad to report that no one in her class has had their brains out.

I hope to get to post again soon! I will try to check some blogs real quick!

So glad to see you're still alive and kicking! I've been worried about your busy schedule, but I can tell in your voice that you like what you're doing with your intern. Makes a difference when you enjoy it! Next time I get to see the kids, Nolan will probably be walking!!!!!

It was great to see you & the kids this week. I am so thankful that we all get together. It is something that I always look forward to. You are doing a great job with your school & job responsibilities. You will be a great assist. principal one day soon!!

About Me

I am wife to Nathan, Mommy to Kaylee and Nolan, and a teacher to precious students. I love to cook, but I am very bad at cleaning. Just ask my husband! I also have some issues with organization. Some of my favorite things are . . . spending time with my daughter and son, chocolate, "girl time" with my college roommates and Bible study girls, naps, "I Love Lucy," and finding time to read a good book.
